In the realm of nutrition science, few topics have sparked as much debate and evolution in understanding as the impact of dietary fat on cardiovascular health. Dr. Alice Lichtenstein, a renowned expert in nutrition and cardiovascular disease, brings clarity to this complex field. Her extensive research at several prestigious institutions has been pivotal in shaping contemporary dietary guidelines. Dr. Lichtenstein delves into the journey from early observational studies that linked high-cholesterol diets to cardiovascular risk to more nuanced insights emphasizing the types of fats consumed. The discussion highlights the critical shift from merely reducing total fat intake to replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats, reflecting the latest evidence-based recommendations. Furthermore, the conversation addresses the variability in individual responses to dietary changes and the ongoing debate over the most accurate biomarkers for assessing cardiovascular risk. Dr. Lichtenstein also tackles the pervasive issue of nutrition misinformation and underscores the necessity of robust, evidence-based public health guidelines. This episode offers a comprehensive exploration of whole dietary patterns, the importance of examining food choices in context, and the role of public health policy in fostering healthier eating environments. Join us to gain a deeper understanding of how dietary fat influences health and the critical considerations for future nutrition research and recommendations.

This week's episode is about atherosclerosis, a condition that leads to cardiovascular disease. Buck explains the role of cholesterol and lipoproteins in the development of atherosclerosis. He emphasizes the importance of understanding this topic as cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death. The conversation covers the different types of lipoproteins, such as HDL and LDL, and their association with atherosclerosis. Buck also discusses the significance of apolipoprotein B (APO-B) in measuring the risk of cardiovascular disease. He explains how APO-B can penetrate the blood vessel wall and trigger an immune response, leading to the formation of plaque and potential heart attacks. Buck recommends keeping APO-B levels below 60 milligrams per deciliter to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. He also mentions the importance of testing for lipoprotein little A (Lp(a)) levels, as high levels of Lp(a) are a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Commentary by Dr. Candice Silversides
In episode 529 of Sigma Nutrition Radio, we discuss all things related to cholesterol, atherosclerosis, heart disease, and dietary fat. The discussion extensively covers the impact of LDL cholesterol and ApoB on atherosclerotic plaque progression, cardiovascular events, and the benefits of early LDL lowering interventions, particularly through the use of PCSK9 inhibitors alongside statins. We address misconceptions prevalent in the low-carb and carnivore communities, dissect claims regarding saturated fats, and elucidate why atherosclerosis predominantly affects arteries and not veins. The episode sheds light on the nuanced mechanisms of cholesterol metabolism, the significance of different lipid particles, and the limited dietary impact on LP(a) levels. Comprehensive evidence-based insights and practical recommendations for dietary patterns and cardiovascular health interventions are provided, offering clarity on these complex topics.

Fuzzy science” abounds in the world, and even luminaries fall into its trap sometimes. This review clarifies the mis-explanations of important concepts in lipid science that were discussed in Peter Attia's podcast. The interview with Dr. Thomas Dayspring resulted in a 7 hour series that promised a deep dive into cholesterol and lipoproteins. Lipid science is a complex and ever-evolving field. Understanding some of the basic tenets of the field helps us traverse more complicated topics. The intention of this review is to help clarify the important points Dr. Dayspring made and to open up the scope of the discussion by examining less considered aspects of cholesterol, lipoproteins and their functions. The deep dive into the topic by Drs. Attia and Dayspring was indeed much needed and appreciated and this review acts merely as supplementary commentary or footnotes to the discussion. Since Attia and Dayspring devoted an impressive 7 hours to their discussion, the 2 hour length in this episode respects the time and effort that went into their series by attending to their points in detail. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

This week on ReInvent Healthcare, I talk about a topic that not very many practitioners talk about these days - Lipoprotein A. I'll go in depth on how it affects the cardiovascular system, the genetic factors involved, testing that we can do, as well as some approaches for lifestyle and diet choices that can help bring down Lipoproteins. IN THIS EPISODE:Understanding the Significance of Lp(a)The Lp(a) is a lipoprotein particle in the bloodstream that is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease that resembles LDL cholesterol but is denser and even more dangerous. It can easily pass into the inner lining of blood vessels, leading to plaque formation, inflammation, increased clotting, and an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, and aortic stenosis. We need to be knowledgeable about its characteristics, its role in plaque formation, inflammation, and clotting within blood vessels, and how it can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and aortic stenosis. The Role of Genetic FactorsElevated Lp(a) levels are estimated to be 90% hereditary, making it crucial to assess genetic risk factors. Certain genetic variants linked to Lp(a)are associated with a shorter lifespan and a higher risk of aortic stenosis. We should consider genetic testing, especially in individuals with a family history of heart disease, to assess the presence of Lp(a)-related genetic variants. Dietary and Supplemental ApproachesWhile there is no consensus on the best diet for heart disease, a whole foods diet rich in antioxidants, combined with specific supplements like niacin, ginkgo biloba, berberine, vitamin C, and L-carnitine, can potentially lower Lp(a) levels and improve overall cardiovascular health. Individualized approaches are essential, and regular testing is recommended to monitor progress and adjust interventions as needed.

Discordance between Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is similar, except rather than counting just LDL particles, ApoB is a measure of the numbers of lipoproteins that have an ApoB attached. Discordance between ApoB and LDL-C can lead to either an underestimate or overestimate of ASCVD risk. And therefore there may be important implications for someone who does have discordance. Additionally, it is such cases that suggest that a measurement of ApoB may provide additional information beyond traditional lipid measures in assessing a person's cardiovascular risk. Recent work from researchers at Liverpool John Moores University has investigated whether discordance is associated with certain dietary patterns. In this episode, one of the researchers involved, Dr. Ian Davies, is on the podcast to discuss this work in addition to wider questions in the diet-lipids-CVD field that remain to be answered.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.02.08.527629v1?rss=1 Authors: Ehring, K., Ehlers, S. F., Froese, J., Gude, F., Puschmann, J., Grobe, K. Abstract: The Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway controls embryonic development and tissue homeostasis after birth. This requires regulated solubilization of dual-lipidated, firmly plasma membrane-associated Shh precursors from producing cells. Although it is firmly established that the resistance-nodulation-division transporter Dispatched (Disp) drives this process, it is less clear how lipidated Shh solubilization from the plasma membrane is achieved. We previously showed that Disp enhances proteolytic Shh solubilization from its lipidated terminal peptide anchors. This process, called shedding, converts tightly membrane-associated hydrophobic Shh precursors into delipidated soluble proteins. We show here that Disp-mediated Shh shedding is modulated by a serum factor that we identify as high-density lipoprotein (HDL). In addition to serving as soluble sinks for free membrane cholesterol, HDLs also accept the cholesterol-modified Shh peptide from Disp. The cholesteroylated Shh peptide is required and sufficient for Disp-mediated transfer because mCherry linked to cholesteroylated peptides associates with HDL in a Disp-dependent manner, but an N-palmitoylated Shh variant that lacks C-cholesterol does not. Disp-mediated Shh transfer to HDL is finalized by proteolytic processing of the palmitoylated N-terminal membrane anchor. The resulting mono-lipidated Shh variant may help meet the demands for Hh activity regulation in different cell types and developing tissues. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Alzheimer's disease and dementia prevalence and deaths are on the rise, claiming over 6,000 lives in the USA every week! Yet many people don't even know their APOE genotype, which arguably has the biggest impact on future Alzheimer's disease and dementia as well as cardiovascular disease risk. In this show we dive deeper into what the APOE gene does and how knowing this info can help tweak your nutrition and lifestyle helping to reduce risk of future disease—especially if you have one or two copies of the APOE ε4 gene.

Hormone sensitive lipase facilitates your metabolic withdrawals. 09:42 Your omega 3 index and APE 4 isoform. 11:35 APOE4 and cholesterol 11:45 ApoB VS ApoE 12:09 APOE2 carriers tend to have a less atherogenic lipid profile. 12:15 APOE4 carriers are associated with decreased levels of APOE triglycerides and increased levels of APOB in lipoproteins 13:12 APOE4 puts genotype carriers at increased risk for heart disease. This is likely due to the association with APOE4 and elevated LDL and Apolipoprotein B. 14:07 APOE4 primes your microglia to be more inflammatory. Microglia are brain immune cells. They are involved in synaptic processing, pruning of cells, shaping neurons, and removing inflammatory debris. APOE4 carriers have decreased cerebral glucose metabolism and increased levels of beta amyloid and tau protein. 15:50 With APOE4, there are changes and increase of tau protein within the neurons. There are also alterations in the blood brain barrier integrity. 16:00 To preserve the integrity of the brain, moderate alcohol consumption, increase exercise, incorporate sauna therapy and sauna bathing, as it effects cerebral blood flow. 16:45 APOE is expressed in astrocytes, microglia and other vascular cells within the brain. Blood brain barrier prevents toxins and metabolic waste from going into your brain. Increased expression of APOE is detected in stressed neurons. 17:42 APOE isoforms affect lipid transport, glucose metabolism, mitochondrial function, synaptic plasticity, beta amyloid protein expression, tau protein and cerebral vascular function within the brain. 18:18 Ratio of APOE4 allele correlates with loss of gray matter volume and abnormal glucose metabolism, a hallmark of Alzheimer's and dementia. 19:00 APOE4 is the greatest genetic risk factor for late onset Alzheimer's disease. It also influences the risk and outcomes for stroke, MS, Parkinson's disease, and frontotemporal dementia. 22:11 A low carb diet, high in wild caught fish, is protective for APOE4 carriers. It impacts brain metabolism and lipid levels favorably. Drive your glycemic load down. 24:05 If you are over the age of 50 and have one or two copies of the APOE4 allele, consider microdosing with rapamycin. Rapamycin is an mTOR inhibitor. It may delay the onset of Alzheimer's and dementia.

Cardiovascular, or heart, disease is the leading cause of death in America. Dr. Anthony Patrello discusses what the risks of heart disease are and how they are determined.
CardioNerds Academy Chief Fellows Dr. Rick Ferraro (FIT, Johns Hopkins) and Dr. Tommy Das (FIT, Cleveland Clinic) join Academy fellow Dr. Jessie Holtzman (soon, chief resident at UCSF internal medicine residency) to learn all about LDL physiology and function from Dr. Peter Toth! Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) has been well established as a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with an ever growing armamentarium of medications to lower LDL-C plasma levels. Yet, LDL-C also plays a number of key physiologic roles across mammalian species, such as cell membrane formation, bile acid synthesis, and steroid hormone production. In this episode, we discuss the definitions of high, normal, low, and ultra-low LDL-C, what functional assays are used to measure LDL-C, and what is considered the safe lower-limit of LDL-C, if there is one at all. Drawing upon experience from rare genetic conditions including abetalipoproteinemia and loss-of-function variants of the PCSK9 gene, we glean pearls that clarify the risks and benefits of low LDL-C.

Pearls 1. Lipoproteins are processed via two major pathways in mammals: 1) exogenous fat metabolism that digests ingested lipids and 2) endogenous fat metabolism that synthesizes lipids in the liver and small intestine. High density lipoprotein (HDL)-mediated reverse transport also brings lipids from the periphery back to the liver. 2. LDL-C comprises ~70% of plasma cholesterol due to its long half-life of 2-3 days. It is one of 5 major lipid particles in plasma including chylomicrons, very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDL), LDL, and HDL. The liver degrades 40-60% of LDL, while no other tissues in the body make up more than 10% of LDL. LDL-C is energy-poor and cholesterol rich, such that peripheral tissues may not utilize these particles as a fuel source. 3. Preserved functions of LDL-C across mammalian species include cell membrane formation, bile acid synthesis, and steroid hormone production. In other mammalian species, LDL-C levels are found in the 35-50 mg/dL range (Way lower than found in the general human population, and likely more representative of baseline human physiology!). 4. Large, randomized control trials do not consistently demonstrate major adverse effects associated with lower serum LDL-C levels, including risks of cognitive decline, hemorrhagic stroke, reduced bone density, or impaired immune function. 5. Initiation of, and education on LDL-lowering therapy remains insufficient, both in terms of long-term adherence to therapy and achieving current guideline directed goals of LDL-C
To crack the causes of metabolic disease, Dr. Changting Xiao is peering into the "black box" of the human gut. As a boy, Xiao frequently ran homemade experiments, trying to figure out how systems work. Over the decades that followed, he observed an 'epidemic' increase in diabetes, obesity, strokes and heart disease. In this episode, the biomedical researcher explains why he recently moved to Saskatchewan, and his fascination with the human gut, and its role in creating 'bad blood fats'. "The gut is often overlooked and often under-studied," Xiao said. "The gut is very smart and complex, and there is much more to be learned."
In order to interpret your cholesterol tests, we need to understand lipoproteins. If fats and oils are released into the bloodstream, they would cause major damage if not for lipoproteins. Fats and oils would coalesce into large "bubbles" or emboli. These emboli would cause damage like heart attack if not controlled. Lipoproteins keep the fats and oils from forming large, or embolic, particles. LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and HDL (high-density lipoprotein) are mostly the same except for the portion of protein. HDL has 50% or more protein. LDL has 25% or less protein. HDL is, therefore, like an empty dump truck, able to carry LDL away from the artery wall. LDL is like a full dump truck, spilling and leaving LDL in the lining of the arteries. That LDL deposition is plaque formation. Other particles (lipoprotein) get larger and are carry even more fats and oils. These are called IDL (intermediate density lipoprotein) and VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) all have more fats and oils (cholesterol and triglycerides). The particles that are the most likely to get caught in the artery wall have mostly fat (LDLs), but they are small & dense enough to slip between cracks in the intima. They're called sdLDL, which stands for small, dense LDL. For more information, contact us at 859-721-1414 or myhealth@prevmedheartrisk.com.

Dr. Nadir Ali, an interventional cardiologist clears up confusion about LDL and answers questions like is LDL cholesterol really bad for us? Why does LDL cholesterol go up on a low carb diet? Are statins bad for you? Do statins prevent or cause heart disease?As a leading cardiologist in the high fat, low carb space, Dr. Nadir Ali has been paving the way in advocating that we should not fear high LDL cholesterol when other numbers are in line such as low triglycerides, low insulin and glucose, low inflammation, and high HDL cholesterol.Statins are commonly prescribed for elevated LDL cholesterol but as Dr. Ali discusses in this video, we may be treating high LDL all wrong. Statins have been shown to have significant side effects like cognitive and memory problems, fatigue, and muscle pain for many patients. Elevated LDL has been shown to be important for sex hormones, muscle function, cognition, and inflammation.

I interview Dave Feldman, who has mastered the understanding of cholesterol. The second “L” in LDL stands for lipoprotein, and it's actually like a boat that carries cholesterol throughout your body and not the cholesterol itself. Your body makes cholesterol because it needs it for health. Cholesterol is in every cell in your body, and you couldn't function without it. Dave has demonstrated many times that LDL will often drop in response to a high-fat diet, though a small subset of people may experience a dramatic increase, as Dave did. When he deliberately gained 20 pounds of body fat, though, his LDL dropped down to a normal level. As well, populations with low triglycerides and high HDL (high-density lipoproteins) cholesterol have reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. Lipoproteins carry not only cholesterol, but triglycerides, fat-soluble vitamins, and antioxidants. Everything your cells need that's not water-soluble is carried in lipoproteins. And yes, your cells need triglycerides for energy. LDL also plays an important immunity role, along with helping repair damage in your body. The ketogenic diet is powerful. It reduces your body's requirement for insulin and can be a driver for what's called autophagy, which is when your cells recycle damaged parts into usable protein. And it may help slow down the aging of cells, along with reducing your risk for cardiovascular disease.

This episode is the second part in a two part series talking about biomarker testing. If you have not listened to part 1 then do dive in (link below.) In essence, I utilised a testing service called Forth With Life (baseline plus test) in order to measure a series of bio markers over the last year or so ( initial test Aug 2018, follow up test Oct 2019.) This episode directly covers Cholesterol, Triglycerides and Lipoproteins (chylomicrons, HDL, VLDL, LDL.) I looks past ‘good’ or ‘bad’ cholesterol lovely people and I hope you find it useful.

Join us as we deep dive into the nuance of plaque progression with Nadir Ali. We get Nadir’s take on the endotoxemia hypothesis of plaque formation and atherogenesis, discuss the lipoprotein’s role in the body and immune system, and identify some key areas of focus for future research in holistic management of cardiovascular disease.
Carl and Carrie talk to Siobhan Huggins about how lipoproteins and the immune system work together
Today on the show, I discuss how inflammation contributes to the development of heart disease. I also talk about why it is NOT the only factor and why despite what many low carb nutrition experts are claiming, lipoproteins still matter. Tune in to find out more: Linked Research: Review of the role of oxidative stress and vascular inflammation in heart disease Inflammation and Lipoproteins and Their Relation to Heart Disease Mechanisms of LDL Oxidation
Laboratory testing is a key component of models of care for all types of lipid disorders. New therapies demand accuracy of dyslipidemia testing at very low LDL cholesterol concentration ranges. Inaccurate results lead to incorrect diagnosis and therapeutic management, both of which are costly to society and harmful to patients. To address these key issues of lipoprotein and apolipoprotein markers and reach consensus on contemporary lipid testing, a multidisciplinary panel was established by the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine and the European Atherosclerosis Society. The July 2018 issue of Clinical Chemistry includes a special report from this joint consensus initiative. It provides recommendations for improving the use of the lipid profile to assess cardiovascular disease risk conferred by atherogenic lipoproteins.

Robb Wolf - The Paleo Solution Podcast - Paleo diet, nutrition, fitness, and health
Hey Folks! You asked for it, and we delivered. We're back with a Q&A episode! If you have a question for a future episode, submit them here https://robbwolf.com/contact/submit-a-question-for-the-podcast/ Show notes: 1. (4:41) Ketosis and Carbohydrate timing Ryan says: Hi Robb. I don't know if this will reach you, but while listening to your podcast and reading your first book, a hundred questions pop into my head. This is one of them. I thought about asking my doctor, but I knew a blank stare and a sweaty forehead would be his answer. So here goes: Does frequency of carb intake play a role in disrupting ketosis? For example, if I am going to eat 150 grams in total of carbohydrates today, will eating all 150 grams of carbs at the same meal knock me out of ketosis for an EQUAL amount of time as eating 15 grams every hour for 10 hours?* My theory is eating 15 grams of carbs an hour for 10 hours will be just enough to keep a person out of ketosis for a longer period of time than eating all 150 grams in one meal while carb-fasting for the rest of the day. I could be wrong, but that's why I'm asking the master. Thank you in advance for any time you can dedicate to the this question. Have a great day. *Lets assume we are talking about starchy carbohydrates (rice, potatoes, etc.), not leafy green vegetables or other low glycemic vegetables. ------------ Links: Meal frequency and timing in health and disease-PNAS https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4250148/ 2. (9:34) Genetics and Keto Charles says: Robb mentioned in the Paleo(f)x keto interview that he had some genetics (SNPs) that perhaps made Keto not a great diet for him, yet he gets around it somewhat with some supplementation including with Carnitine. I dabble in Keto and have made lots of progress with my health as a result. I plan to sign up for the Master Class too. I have done genetic testing already with 23 and me. I wonder if Robb could tell me the SNPs to look for to see what kind of genetic fit Keto is for me. I have a feeling I will find out in the Master Class, but would love to hear what Robb has to say or perhaps there is a link to an article or podcast that would do the trick. ------------ Found my fitness genetic interpretation: https://www.foundmyfitness.com/genetics FTO gene is called fat mass and obesity-associated protein because it is the gene that is the major genetic risk factor for obesity. This particular genotype, rs17817449(G;T), is associated with a 1.3-fold increased obesity risk. Saturated fat may have a negative effect on blood glucose and insulin levels and increases type 2 diabetes risk in individuals with this genotype. All sat’d fats the same?? NO. No one asks why this is: Sat’d fats increase endotoxemia to some degree: Dietary oil composition differentially modulates intestinal endotoxin transport and postprandial endotoxemia-Nutrition and metabolism https://nutritionandmetabolism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1743-7075-10-6 Sat’d fats also tend to increase Lipoproteins and cholesterol, at least in some people. Is that bad? Maybe, maybe not, #context: https://www.google.com/search?q=LPS+clearance+lipoproteins&oq=LPS+clearance+lipoproteins&aqs=chrome..69i57.6086j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Multiple mechanisms: 1-LPS binding protein 2-Multiple hepatic cells and receptors, including LDL-receptor 3-Small, dense lipoproteins work better for this!! In total, this FTO mutation is overall beneficial in dealing with endotoxemia dn infection. Consistent with other SNP’s I have (celiac potential, mild iron accretion). Shows direct influence of adaptations to agriculture. DAIRY really increases this for me. 3. (16:51) Familial history of cancer and the Ketogenic diet for prevention Clint says: Hey Robb- When I look back into my family history, a boatload of people have had various forms of cancer. We've run the gamut of colon cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, etc... I've listened to quite a few podcasts with Dominic D'Agostino in regards to the ketogenic diet as a tool in the toolbox for combating cancer and lessening the effects of Chemo. I've also heard on various podcasts the use of periodic multi-day fasts to help expunge faulty cells from the body in hopes for cancer prevention. I've been looking into these methods of cancer prevention and wanted your two cents on the matter. I'm 32 years old, 6'2", 180lbs. I'm an endurance athlete/run coach and compete in races from 5k-100 miles. If, in your opinion, these are good tools in regards to helping keep cancer at bay, at what age should I start implementing them? How would I go about balancing a ketogenic diet and being an endurance athlete w/out completely frying my adrenals? I'm not necessarily against reassessing my performance goals to include goals of health and longevity. It's not like I'm being paid to be an upper-midpack runner. Thanks for all that you do! Really looking forward to the new book Clint aka "Run Coach Clint" ----------------------- Likely sweet spot for IF is 18-24hrs: https://medium.com/the-mission/the-sweet-spot-for-intermittent-fasting-9aae12a2158c Scant evidence of periodic starvation among hunter-gatherers. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10096796 4. (24:25) Fasting impact on weight training Matt says: when doing longer fasts like 5-7 day should one stop weight training altogether or keep thing business as usual? 5. (26:32) Cycling the carbs: is it supposed to suck Kate the Great says: Hey guys, huge fan of the podcast, although I'm only a hundred-some episodes in and trying to catch up. Scroll down for the actual question. I eat Paleo (duh- how could anyone listen to 100+ hours of Robb Wolf and not eat that way), which means no grains, dairy, legumes, or sugar. I'm also well on my way to converting the metabolically-resistant trifecta of my Baby Boomer mother and father and my Hot Cheeto-loving fiancé-- which seems to be the Holy Grail of Paleo living. I actually "discovered" Paleo when my fiancé and I did a month-long no-sugar challenge. Part of the protocol involved eliminating grains and dairy before adding it back in, and I noticed how much better I felt when ate things besides grain, dairy, and sugar. Turns out there is a name for it. I shortly transitioned into low-carb Paleo, around 50g-65g/day, because I got healthier and felt better simply eating meat, fish, eggs, sardines, avocado and coconut, and low-starch vegetables. On low-carb Paleo, I started absolutely shredding weight and dropping body fat. 16% to 12% body fat in two weeks- which was very alarming. My body adapts pretty quickly to whatever is thrown at it, and I tend to gain muscle and drop fat easily, but this was definitely unprecedented. After seeing that weight loss, listening through the podcast, and choosing to add in a few more weekly sessions of BJJ and Muay Thai, I figured it would be prudent to add in some high-carb days. Here's the curve ball: I'm a cop who works the road, but with a balling swing-shift schedule. 4 days on/4 days off, 1:30 PM to 1:00 AM (and we get paid an hour a day to workout). From what I hear, shift work is the devil, but I haven't had any problems with it. Yet. I started adding in a high-carb (200g) day every 8 days- it falls on my first day off. Carbs come from corn chips or tortillas at a Mexican restaurant, homemade coconut flour pancakes with banana and blueberries, and tons of raw vegetables (like a party-tray of dipping veggies with no dip). Here's the problem: on high carb days, I feel like BUTT. Bloating, fatigue, rapid heart rate, inability to focus my eyes or even keep them open, crashing and sleeping 14 hours that night, confusion, extreme thirst, muscle cramping, headaches, stuffy nose, and mental fog. On the following day, I am sluggish to wake up, but fine by the afternoon, and absolutely slay workouts. I'm talking adding 20 lbs to previous weeks' lifts, or able to go for hours nonstop in the ring. I love what the high-carb days do for me, but I hate them in the moment. This crash doesn't seem normal or healthy, and I can't figure out what it's coming from. Is it (1) a possible gluten exposure/cross-contamination? (2) a downer after four days of high-adrenaline work? (3) entirely too much fiber? (4) a combination of all the above? And am I giving myself the diabetes? What is the reason for this crash; is it a necessary part of carb-cycling, and how do I make it stop? I would go back to all low-carb, but I want to stave off further weight loss and pre-empt a hormonal clusterf*ck with the high-intensity workouts, high-stress job, and low-carb. Trading Card Stats: +27 YO female +5'10" 150 lbs., 13% body fat (walked myself down from 200 lbs and 20% body fat as an SEC hammer thrower 5 years ago) +Literally perfect lab blood work +BJJ, Muay Thai, long walks on the beach and candlelight dinners during my four days off (no but really, lots of walking with the martial arts those days) +Olympic lifting and power lifting (working off Rusin's FHT program right now, but historically have designed my own) and running (sprints or middle distance no greater than 3 miles) on work days +roughly 150g protein, 100g fat, 50g carbs on low carb days; 150g protein, 20-30g fat, 200g carbs on high-carb days +supplement with Carlson's fish oil, Natural Calm most nights; adaptogenic herbs or tea PRN after a high-stress work day (get shot at or crash the car, etc.) +7 hours of sleep on work nights, 9 hours of sleep on off nights +Hormonal girl stuff is fine. Goals: +Health, longevity, mitigate a stressful job +Maintain excellent PT scores (1.5 mile run, 1-minute pushups, 1-minute sit-ups, 300 meter sprint) +SWAT tryouts in a year: involves a 24-hour physical endurance and shooting test with 80 lbs. of gear +Continue to improve in martial arts so I don't get my narrow Paleo butt handed to me on the street by some dude who eats 7-11 hot dogs. Huge thanks to you and the team. Don't get any ideas or anything, but I can't believe all this is free. Love and support from VA. 6. (31:20) Weight loss--How much is too much? Jacquelyn says: About a month ago, I began the sugar elimination Paleo Meal plan. I needed to lose a lot of weight. I have spinal stenosis, severe lumbar arthritis and in the right hip. high blood pressure, prediabetes, Hashimoto's disease, lactose and gluten intolerant, etc. I take medication for the high blood pressure and the Hashimoto's disease. I've been going to the gym for 18 months---working on various muscle groups and doing cardio. I lost NOTHING, but my muscles did firm up---so I lost inches. My doctor and physical therapist were both nagging me to change something to get the weight off. I met with a friend of mine who has a company called: Verri Well. She advised me to do the sugar elimination plan (meat, veggies and fruit each meal). and see how it goes. I did. Within 4 days, the chronic pain I had in my lumbar spine and right hip disappeared. I continued eating meals based on the plan and going to the gym or walking everyday. At the end of a month, I went to my doctor's office for a check in. I lost 35 lbs in the first month. My doctor freaked out saying that it was dangerous for my organs what I was doing. I needed to slow down the weight loss and put peanut butter, bananas back in my diet and lose the citrus fruits. Well, I'm not going to do that because I feel it would hinder my progress. I like the way I'm feeling. My doctor added that my heart and kidneys would not be able to take the rapid weight loss. So, I am asking you for a general opinion. If I am working out everyday, and sticking to a paleo meal plan---Is a weight loss of 35 lbs for the first month unheard of or dangerous for my organs (starting weight was 280lbs)??? If so, what should the amount of pounds be for weight loss? Or does it even matter? I can see my doctor's position if I was anorexic or bulimic. But that is not the case at all. Thank you for reading. I really need your help with this. Twitter: @RobbWolf Instagram: @dasRobbWolf Facebook: @RobbWolfOnline

In this week's episode of Escape from Caloriegate, we welcome Alan Watson of DietHeartNews.com. Alan is an accomplished author and nutrition researcher, whose works include "21 Days to a Healthy Heart" (2002) and "Cereal Killer: The Unintended Consequences of the Low Fat Diet" (2008). I believe his "Illustrated History of Heart Disease 1825-2015" piece is a MUST READ. Please check it out and share it around. Watson is a convincing advocate for a low carb, high fat, whole foods diet, and he spoke at length about the fascinating relationship between diet and heart disease. Here are some cool highlights from the show: In the last 50 years, we have seen a HUGE shift in the American diet. In 1910, lard was the #1 cooking fat. At Watson's grandfather's dairy farm, skim milk was fed to pigs to fatten them; cream was hauled off to make butter. Mortality from heart disease was just 3-8%, Today, it's 45%! Our genes don't change that fast. What HAS changed is the quality of the food we're eating. Since 1960, sugar consumption has spiked 40%, as has grain consumption. Butter consumption, meanwhile, went down by 30%, and we eat 18% fewer eggs. We've shifted away from natural fats to soybean oil and processed fats. Since 1980, obesity / diabetes has surged, and heart failure has doubled since 1987. The type of fat we're eating has changed dramatically. We're consuming much more polyunsaturated fats -- too much damaged omega 6, which leads to inflammation. Scientists now believe that inflammaton is the cause of heart diease... and not cholesterol. Yet the 2010 Dietary Guidelines lump saturated fats with trans fats, calling them "solid fats," which doesn't mean a thing. Dr. Mary Enig, in her book "Know Your Fats," provides compelling evidence that, inside the body, saturated fat and trans fat behave completely differently. Beef fat = predominantly oleic acid, the same "healthy" monounsaturated fat found in olive oil. Used to be: skim mlk was given to pigs to fatten them up. Today, we give skim milk to our kids. Compare two breakfast: Alan eats three eggs fried in lard with sausage. I eat a bowl of cheerios with skim milk and a glass of O.J. Whose breakfast is more "heart healthy"? I'm meeting Dietary Guildlines; he's off the charts in the "wrong direction." Dietary fat and cholesterol end up in the intestinal wall: the body breaks down fats, then reassembles them into triglycerides, which are put on chylomicrons (apoB48) and delivered to the body's 70 trillion cells. These chylomicrons have a half life of just 14 minutes; within that time, body snatches up all that fat -- that's how important fat is! Within just 2-3 hrs after the meal, very little signs of apoB48. It's gone, into the cell membranes, etc. My meal is another story! The skim milk contains sugar (galactose) and very little fat. All the sugar goes into the blood. Fructose goes to the liver. My meal will take the liver 12 hours to process. The liver then sends that out in VLDL, which loses its fat and becomes LDL, which delivers cholesterol to the body. Dietary fat has nothing to do with LDL! LDL is related to carb intake. Dietary fat is innocent: a completely different pathway. When people get bloodwork done, they should ask for VLDL count. LDL # doesn't really mean much or predict much, b/c it's not the amount of LDL in the circulation that matters; it's how many particles there are. Lipoproteins are particles -- we can count them. Counting VLDLs gives us a reliable predictor of heart disease: triglyceride count and size of LDL particles. AHA did a 6 year study of hospital admissions in 542 hospitals. Did lipid profiles on people -- checked HDL and LDL. Study went over 5 years. 75% of people who had heart attacks had LDL below 130. 50% had LDL below 100! Astonishingly, researcher's conclusion was "maybe we have to lower LDL even more." We've always been told that LDL is bad and HDL is good b/c HDL offers reverse ...

In patients after elective abdominal surgery, different fat emulsions were used to compare their efficacy in total parenteral nutrition and in normalizing plasma lipoprotein levels. In five different groups with 5 patients each, half of the nonprotein calories were given as medium-chain triglycerides/ long-chain triglycerides (1:1) or as long-chain triglycerides alone in 10 or 20% fat emulsions or as glucose alone in a control group for 7 days. After surgery, an initial decrease of all plasma lipoprotein components was followed by a different behavior of glyceride-glycerol, cholesterol, phospholipids, and apolipoproteins. Glyceride-glycerol in very-low-density lipoproteins and high-density lipoproteins is increasing during infusion of fat emulsions and decreasing during overnight interruption of infusions. After the 7-day infusion period, there was no significant difference in very-low-density lipoprotein glyceride-glycerol as compared with the values before different infusions, Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol is reaching and exceeding preoperative concentrations between the 4th and the 7th day, most during infusion of 10% fat emulsion and especially due to an increase of free cholesterol, High-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I reach preoperative levels during infusion of fat emulsions but not with glucose alone, Higher than preoperative values are reached in phospholipids with all fat infusions already on day 4, Abnormal lipoprotein X occurred least with the medium-chain/long-chain triglyceride 20% fat-infusion. This fat emulsion is suggested as having the best normalizing effect on plasma lipoproteins and best tolerance in patients after surgery.
The mechanism leading to hyperlipidemia in the nephrotic syndrome is not fully understood but may be related in part to loss of high density lipoproteins in the urine of patients with nephrosis. To prove this hypothesis, we compared serum lipoprotein profiles with the excretion of high density lipoproteins in urine in 19 nephrotic patients. Serum cholesterol ranged from 19–152 (median value 45) mg/dl in very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), from 130–443 (median 186) mg/dl in low density lipoproteins (LDL) and from 19–64 (median 33) mg/dl in high density lipoproteins (HDL). Hyperlipoproteinemia was found in 17 patients, which was classified as phenotype IIa (Fredrickson) in 2, as phenotype IIb in 9 and as phenotype IV in 6 subjects. Two patients showed normal lipoprotein patterns. VLDL- and LDL-cholesterol were not found in detectable amounts in urine, whereas HDL-cholesterol was measured in low concentrations from 0.1–8.3 mg/24 h in all samples. There was no correlation between serum HDL-cholesterol and urinary HDL-cholesterol, but a positive correlation between serum LDL-cholesterol and urinary HDL-cholesterol (r= +0.54, p < 0.05). However, the total amount of the daily urinary loss of HDL (
